Access to a vast network of “from the trenches” subject matter experts, of like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs, business leaders, educators and academic leaders, government officials, scientists, engineers, coaches, thought-leaders, VCs and angel investors who believe in, have a passion for and are focused on helping the new startup economy.

WE HAVE HIGH QUALITY DEAL FLOW:

At the conclusion of our training process promising startups are ready to present their solutions to investors. Investors know the benefits of support from a team of subject matter experts with acumen and insights from the startup world and value our “skin in the game” approach, and based on our experience and reputation, investors are more likely to invest in the startups we support.

WE BELIEVE IN SHARED SERVICES:

Why go at it alone? And why constantly re-invent the wheel? And why do things in a vacuum? We provide a solid and reputable list of shared, collective and collaborative services from legal to accounting, to branding, to product development to sales empowerment that not only speeds up the traction of the startups but reduces the costs of such services considerably. Not mentioning the deep dive field knowledge brought by the seasoned experts.

WE SAVE TIME:

Time is your most valuable capital! Startup Port believes there is no “Ctrl-Alt-Del” for your time. Thus, we push startup founders to speed up their process to success by implanting our Sprint 90 Program. We are not an incubator which is a “rental space business model -with some events and a lot of mentors”, we are not an accelerator which is a “financial brokerage business model”. We are supporting startups with our intellectual capital by providing an efficient, smart and expedited way of getting traction in the shortest amount of time. Collective support increases effectiveness and reduces the cost and time over going at it solo.

WE ADDRESS RISK:

In business, risk NEVER goes away! No matter how you slice it, the lack of attention paid to “risk mitigation” and “risk management” by executive operators is the root cause of the startup problems that lead to failure. With our due diligence process we help founders and their teams discover, better understand, articulate and convey the interrelated business risks (operational and financial) associated with sustainably acquiring consumers, customers, partners and investors.

WE HAVE A PROCESS:

Our signature Sprint 90 program values time above all other forms of capital. The intensive and accelerated pace of our program requires startups to create an exacting structure for accelerated growth, forcing founders to consider multiple scenarios. Our methodology emphasizes on operational risk mitigation, financial risk management, subject matter support and technology development. The deployment of intellectual capital first, is elemental to managerial execution on proven business strategies that yield sustained traction.
